"On 5 July 2011, I voted for the fifth Cohesion Report and the strategy for post-2013 cohesion policy in order to send a strong signal to the European Commission regarding the priorities of regional policy after 2013. This fifth cycle aims to reduce the development and wealth inequalities that persist in the Union. These inequalities are glaring. My vote in favour of this report will enable the European Parliament to reaffirm its key role in guaranteeing the future competitiveness of the EU. With this vote, we propose concentrating European effort on financing border areas. These are lagging somewhat behind, in particular with regard to the progress made in the construction of trans-European networks (transport, energy, communication), which are in fact pivot points throughout the territory of Europe. In particular, I supported the creation of a ‘category of intermediate regions’, that is to say, a new level of funding, which may benefit regions with per capita GDP between 75% and 90% of the EU average, in order to fund social and economic programmes and to improve citizens’ living conditions. I therefore voted for greater convergence and greater solidarity between the European regions and a return to economic growth."@en1
